Skylights are leak magnets.
I just completed repair on mine...noticed a bit of water damage on the inside around the sky light...went up and discovered a soft patch around the sky light...pulled back the rubber...3 weekends, 4 roof trusses, 6 feet of OSB board, and a new EDPM rubber membrane later, I didn't put that skylight back in. Instead of a shower skylight, I now have a 12 volt light on the new ceiling.
I somewhat figure that perhaps just based on "house experience" but I don't see any ceiling damage / staining, hence my thinking that perhaps "shower humdity" is the culprit. Having had the trailer for only one week and never owning one before, I am not sure that there isn't a humidity problem for "unprotected"/non-sealed surfaces or where condensation can collect significantly (ie. top bubble) and then run down to the lower unprotected "sandwich".... but its certainly just guess.
